don't follow the https'ers off the cliff... ;-)

Other than obedience to google, what purpose does encrypting open source 
linux
distro binaries & source serve?

https makes most content uncacheable, and I know I've saved 700MB in
Suse disc images in my cache that wouldn't have been saved with https
for most people.  On top of that, https slows down transfer and raises
latencies. 

Please reconsider whether https is really needed for "download" or
"software".  It's not like either is serving sensitive information
and I really hate to see another sheep march to google's tune (when
they  want it to prevent you from selective ad filtering.
